Raymond Vineyard & Cellar
R Collection Lot No. 2 California Merlot
California, USA
Raymond Vineyards has been making wine for over five generations. Dark red with berry and spice aromas. On the palate cherry, currants, and plum with heavy spicy oak. Big grainy tannins, lively acidity on this full body wine that had a medium finish. Nothing great. Pass. Tasting Sample.

This merlot has a medium to dark, beautiful red color. A nice balanced blend of darker fruits, spice and crisp acidity. The finish was my favorite part although couldn’t quite place the taste...fresh bread? An enjoyable merlot, let’s do it again.

Oct 1st, 20192015 Vintage on 4/22/17. This is an easy drinking Merlot - not too dry and the finish is fruity but not too sweet. I'm usually a Cab drinker, but our favorite restaurant has this as their house wine and we like it's drinkability.

Medium ruby, thin, mild, smooth, easy to sip, and to me not a lot of flavor. Not a bad wine, just uninteresting, a little watery, with some mild astringency in the finish. Not at all objectionable but also not much to it. I've had better merlot for the $12 this bottle cost.
